- Fuga Table by Metamorphic Art Studio Dimensions: ⌀ 80 x H 76 cm Materials: Cast Iron, Glass The Fuga table … more Fuga Table by Metamorphic Art Studio Dimensions: ⌀ 80 x H 76 cm Materials: Cast Iron, Glass The Fuga table is a sculptural table with timeless elegance. The base is handcrafted in Belgium from four identical solid cast elements that are artistically welded into a continuous, organically shaped sculpture. The table is named Fuga since this creative process is strikingly analogous to the composition of a musical fugue. Just like the famous musician Yo-Yo Ma explains: “So a fugue is a beautiful musical puzzle based on just one tune. And when you layer this tune on top of itself, it starts to change and turns into a beautiful new structure.“ Metamorphic Art Studio is a Belgian collective of artists and architects: Xaveer Claerhout, Barbara Van Biervliet and Adriaan Claerhout. They explore the aesthetic of Metamorphosis in art, design and architecture. Several of their metamorphic artworks make part of the permanent collection of Museum Centre Pompidou. The artists of Metamorphic Art Studio also won prestigious awards such as IFaward, RedDot award, German Design Award, Architizer Award,\. The Fuga table won the Iconic Design Award 2024. OUR APPROACH As artists of Metamorphic Art Studio we share a common fascination for Metamorphosis. The transition from straight lines and surfaces to curved ones can be found in all of their works. In several of our creations a physical transformation of the shape takes place, morphing it from a straight and rectilinear object into a curved organic form. In 2006 we introduced this concept which they called 'Metamorphism'. This metamorphic principle was applied to architecture in which the outer skin transforms according to the functional needs of the moment. Also in lighting, we added this metamorphic and fundamentally organic dimension, creating unique living light objects. Several of our metamorphic creations are acquired in the permanent collection of Musée du Centre Pompidou in Paris. Next to the physically transforming artefacts, as Metamorphic Art Studio we also create objects in which movement is captured in a frozen moment. The Fuga table is an example of frozen motion. Fuga is a composition with identical parts that are repeated, turned upside down and reversed to obtain an organically curved sculpture, either standalone or repeated in a continuous flow. In all of our creations functionality and object quality play a major role. with our architectural background, we try to take the principle of 'Form Follows Function' to a different level. less
